Violent Crime and Gun Control Laws

Robbers and rapists love gun control laws, because they don't want you to
have a gun to defend yourself.

Police rarely prevent violent crime. They rarely even appear as a violent
crime is being committed. The police come after a crime is committed. They
write a crime report and sometimes try to find the criminal.

Pistols are great equalizers. A 90-pound woman with a pistol is just as
strong as a 300-pound professional athlete with a pistol. Indeed, she has
an advantage. She is a smaller target.

In Vermont, no one needs a permit to carry a concealed pistol. Vermont
doesn't waste people's time and money processing useless paperwork. Only
North Dakota has a lower violent crime rate than Vermont.

It's better to have a pistol and not need one, than to need a pistol and
not have one.
